Yes, but it’s not relevant to the point I was making

Intentionally, I think.

She has been a good evangelist for the fediverse, IMO, based on my reading of her posts on Mastodon the last couple months.

BlueSky is another corporate microblog platform, which could end up going the way of Twitter. I’m not saying it will be bought by a fascist billionaire, but they will be beholden to advertisers at some point in the near future.

I would highly recommend finding a Mastodon, Akkoma, or GoToSocial instance that aligns with your values and use that instead. If you are concerned about the network effects of not being on the ‘biggest’ platform where all the celebs are, there is a Bluesky->Mastodon bridge available.

So this is just a shortcut to Google or DuckDuckGo with a prebuilt query?

it’s too late, this country is cooked

Love this. I don’t agree with the sentiment that Trek is being overdone - I’d rather have a slate of options and sit through the “bad” than have to wait years to get anything close to good.

Like, I enjoyed parts of Picard, but on the whole, it didn’t work out (maybe given the serial nature of each season, or cramming pretty ambitious ideas into 10 episodes each season). But I’ll take that any day over having to wait a week at a time for a “filler” episode.

Still hoping for a Klingon focused show… would love anything where a federation vessel isn’t the primary setting!

The mighty Kira Nerys.

Her and my daughter share a middle name for a reason.

This is the first good news I’ve read all day

Amending the constitution would take 38 states to get on board IIRC and is not a quick process anyway. The republicans do not control 38 state governments.

He said something, as he was making a birthday wish on stage, to the effect of “I hope the next shooter doesn’t miss”. For context it was like 2 days after the first Trump attempted shooting

Of course this is anecdotal but I haven’t seen that - most of the disdain I’ve seen is towards new instance admins who don’t take proper steps to moderate stuff or prevent spammy signups.

You won’t find that here. But I won’t be silenced about the dumb shit Dems do. Luckily it seems to be happening less this go around. Enabling the genocide in Gaza is still very bad and Biden’s administration (and possibly, by extension, Harris’s campaign) should be criticized heavily for it

How long until he chides someone for being a fascist enabler for not being a Democrat bootlicker?

I can’t stand the “never criticize a dem or you’re helping the republicans” crowd, it’s how we ended up where we are now. Dems got complacent and ratcheted to the right to appease a “broader base” (how did that work out?)… give the people strong social policies and you will win in landslides

Stop spending money on lawsuits

I feel like some of that was just manufactured in the press to sow discord.

Never knew this! It’s easy to spot Banks once you know him from BB. He wasn’t decked out too much in makeup.

Jonathan Banks’ character in DS9 was pretty good - https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Golin_Shel-la

The endless suffering of war…

Yeah we see it but we are talking about a different thing here

This is cool to see. I tried my hand at running an instance most of last year but threw in the towel this past January. It was just me and 1-2 other active users and none of this software is wide spread enough to have a good solid support community. I really appreciate the people out there dedicating their time and other resources to making this work. (Truthfully, I didn’t put a ton of thought into how and where I was hosting my instance before inviting others to sign up, which is on me, and I think is what ultimately came back to haunt me down the line - my GoToSocial instance is much healthier, for example)
